Acerca de esta escucha

Nick Fairfax vows to do whatever Lord Bane Dunsaney desires for one year. In exchange, Nick's family gets a chance to regain their fortune. Is this the worst mistake of Nick's life, or will it lead to a love only found in fairy tales? Book 1 of our modern, M/M retelling of Beauty & The Beast.*

*Cursed: Broken is the first book of a 3-book series, which will all be published in 2016.*

Sensitive, aspiring photographer Nick Fairfax wants nothing to do with his family's corporate business, or their vicious, cold-blooded lifestyle. Intending to give up his inheritance and pursue his art, he arrives at his father's office, only to find that Fairfax Industries has fallen to a scarred man in a hooded cloak.

The man is the reclusive billionaire Lord Bane Dunsaney, and he is bent on destroying the Fairfaxes. But when he sees Nick, *everything* changes. Bane offers the Fairfaxes the chance to regain their fortune if Nick will reside at Moon Shadow, his secluded mansion, and do whatever the billionaire wants for a whole year. Nick has no real choice other than to agree to Bane's terms.

At Moon Shadow, Bane lords his power over Nick, going even so far as to take Nick's phone, computer and beloved camera away. The billionaire claims such measures are to protect his *privacy*, but Nick is convinced they are so Bane can control *him.*

Each is determined to see the worst in each other. But as time passes, Nick glimpses a Bane that is much more than the cold-hearted figure that he met in his father's office. He discovers that Bane is a man betrayed by love and no longer believes in it.

But what Nick comes to know about Bane is nothing compared to the man's true secret. Bane is *cursed.* He is a tiger-shifter who has *no control* over his beast. And that beast wants Nick.

*Cursed: Bound,* Book 2 of the series, is in progress and scheduled for late summer 2016! To find out more, check our blog here because we post often: http://welcome.raythereign.com/category/raythe-reign-team-blog/

Great story and performance

I really enjoyed Book 1 of a 3 book story. This is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, but very loosely based on that fairy tale. Although it definitely is a fairy tale, it is contemporary enough to keep me engaged. This first book is how Bane and Nick meet, not under the best circumstances. Bane mistakenly believes Nick is a spoilt rich brat, not the kind, sweet artistic man who has been rejected from his despicable family. And Nick mistakenly believes that Bane is a cruel bully intent on humiliating him because of his family name. Their understanding of each other evolves as they are forced to endure one another. I really liked that we get both MCs POV and the telling of this story swept me away. It was a combination of both the story and the excellent performance by the narrator. He does a wonderful job with the various characters. There is a lot more to this story, so on to Book 2. According to the author Book 3 will be released in 2017, hopefully soon as the story encompasses all 3 books.

I Have Fallen for the Beast

I listened to book 2.5 in this series some time ago. I was intrigued by the fairytale theme “beauty and the beast” from the m/m perspective so I greedily snapped up books 1 and 2. When I realized there would be a third book I decided to wait to start at the beginning. I felt a binge coming on and was worth the wait. Since the final book is out I began. This is a very romantic reframing of the original fairytale. It ignites a slow burn, a tease, if you will. I know each book will burn a little stronger until, I hope, I get my happily ever after. It is beautifully written with lyrical prose brought to life by Michael Pauley. The leading man, antihero, Bane is voiced by Pauley with heartbreaking tenderness. Nick, the love interest, is barely more than a gentle boy who has not been treated kindly in the world. As their fates collide the magic begins and you are swept up into a classical story as old as time and fairytales and as modern as a rock opera. There is a cliffhanger, that’s why I waited till the final book came out to start the series, and have to go now to start book 2. If you enjoy a romantic read, a fairytale and a male/male love story do not miss this series.

Great shifter romance

I was sceptical at first but I was in the mood for something different from the regular romance and was sucked into the story from the start. The narrator did a fabulous job as usual. The only complaint I have is the irritating music between chapters.

Initially confused; now I understand...

The entire premise of this book was fantastic...indentured servitude, undeniable attraction met with a refusal to accept. I loved the adventure that the author was taking us on...but...the ending of this book sucked, with a big ole exclamation point! I wanted an happily ever after and I was left hanging. It was not until I reread the publisher summary that I realized that it was the first part of a three part series...that was a relief and now I am anxiously awaiting the next part of this series and will be better prepared when I finish part 2, knowing there is a part 3. Love the characters and I think that the narrator, Michael Pauley does an exceptional job!! Waiting patiently (mostly) for the next installment...

Great retelling of an old classic

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the character development. That is basically the entire book and it was great to have a story instead of them ripping their clothing off every other page. I loved the whole thing. Bane's tortured past, the servant Omar, whom is more family than servant and Nick. Nick's corrupt family and so on. Unlike everyone else, I felt enough of the ends were tied up to satisfy me until the next story. It was open enough to have much more to explore between these two and we still have to get Bane to say those three little words.I think I have found myself a new author. This was my first book by her and I loved it.

Have you listened to any of Michael Pauley’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I've listened to all of Michael's Michelle Howard books, but Michael, this is your best work out of the ones I've heard. Holly crap did you give Bane a sexy voice and Omar was also well done. Good job! I hope to see you do more varied voices in the future.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The moments about Bane and Alistair as well as Bane's father. I hope we get more nitty gritty details next book. I love a good tortured hero.

Any additional comments?

Really excited to have found this author and I will be buying more of her books on Audible.
